EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color lithograph by the renowned English illustrator, Sir John Tenniel. This exquisite work of art is a testament to Tenniel's exceptional talent in bringing the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to life. The image depicts a charming scene from the beloved novel, where the Queen of Hearts extends an invitation to Alice to play a game of croquet. The Queen, dressed in her regal attire, stands before Alice, holding out a croquet mallet and a hoop, while Alice, with her characteristic curiosity and surprise, looks on. The background is filled with fantastical elements typical of Wonderland, including flamingos and hedgehogs used as mallets and balls. Tenniel's masterful use of color and detail in this print is truly remarkable. The vibrant hues of the Queen's dress, the intricate patterns on the hedgehogs, and the lush greenery of the croquet field all contribute to the enchanting atmosphere of the scene. The artist's ability to capture the essence of Carroll's narrative and translate it into a visual masterpiece is a testament to his artistic genius. This print is a rare and valuable piece of fine art, showcasing the rich history of book design and graphic arts in Great Britain. As the official illustrator for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," Tenniel's work has become an iconic representation of the novel and a beloved piece of literature. This invitation from the Queen to play croquet is a delightful reminder of the magical world that Carroll created and Tenniel brought to life. This print is part of a private collection and is not for commercial use. It is a treasure to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
